Wild Hearts is a fine art photography collection by award-winning equestrian photographer Esther Towler, celebrating the beauty and resilience of the UK's native wild horses and ponies. These semi-wild herds have roamed the land for generations, shaped by and shaping the rugged environments they inhabit. Once essential to agriculture and industry, many of these traditional breeds now face uncertain futures due to habitat loss, modern farming practices, and declining public awareness.
Driven by a deep passion for rare native breeds, Esther created Wild Hearts to raise awareness of their plight and the fragile ecosystems they call home. Through this evocative collection, she hopes to inspire conservation and appreciation—encouraging people to support the survival of these magnificent animals, whether through protecting them in the wild or through responsible ownership. Wild Hearts stands as both a tribute and a call to action for the preservation of our living heritage.
